Paying Homage

Paying Homage
In the grey of the asphalt and concrete bricks
the sunlight plays and tricks the eye.
The bleakness of the fallen debris
when exposed to the heat and the wrath
of the callous sunlight,
mocking the destruction by the human hand
of the life not relevant to the march of time
relentless stands the memory
of that which passed away.
A man standing in the debris
holding a red bouquet in his hand
is a meek homage
and a challenge stubborn
to all the mockery of insignificant life.
